we are each of us damaged, the very act of birth gaurantees that,
complimentary cracks and aberrations cancel - adaptive optical living.

i would have married iphegenia, even cognizant of her fate,
she is singular - the anima, forever searching without, in vain.

capacity for pain is perhaps directly proportionate to capacity for love,
i care for hecuba, i am rewarded with her pain, perhaps one force.

but what cares the audience for hecuba, always alert, they are critics,
cynics, surprisingly alone amongst a multitude of others, walking on.

the descent of man darwin called it, if so original sin is not sex,
life is drawing closer and in death we are absolved - each of us perfect.

Interesting this poem is. That is all I can think of to say.

Cold hands means a warm heart
